2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp cumin

Aioli
4 garlic cloves, put through garlic press
Kosher salt
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup olive oil
Cayenne pepper
Put crushed garlic and ½ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add egg yolks and lemon juice and whisk to blend. Slowly whisk in olive oil in a steady stream until a creamy sauce forms. Season with salt and cayenne.
Arugula
Fresh Fennel, thinly sliced
Vinaigrette
Combine all ingredients for rub and rub on both sides of flank steak
Place spice-rubbed flank steak in a ziplock bag and add lime juice. Marinate for 12-24 hours. Grill flank steak over high heat. 5 minutes per side for medium rare and a little longer for more well cooked. After taking steak off of barbecue let it rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting. Serve the Flank Steak over a bed of arugula and thinly sliced fennel that has been lightly dressed with vinaigrette.
Serve with Pey-Marin Vineyards Pinot Noir.
